The nurse glanced at the computer again: "Her name is Lan Yi. She was transferred from the emergency room. The pregnant woman fell at home, but fortunately, the fetus was saved."
"Pregnant woman?"
Just as I expected.
Around this time in her previous life, her mother became pregnant, but when she was seven months pregnant, she fell at home and the baby died in the womb. Even Lan Yi's life was barely saved.
Seven out of ten will survive, eight will not.
She clearly remembered that it was a boy.
Why did her mother have an accident so early in this life?
The head nurse gestured for Jiang Zao to go to the empty rest room next door. "Actually, we can't disclose patients' privacy, but I know that Madam Fu is Madam Xia's daughter, so I'll tell you the truth. I heard from my colleagues in the emergency room that Madam Xia said she was pushed down when she was admitted to the hospital."
Jiang Zao raised an eyebrow.
Among the Xia family, the only person who would dare to push Lan Yi is Xia Chuwei.
"Does Mr. Xia know?" Jiang Zao asked.
The head nurse was a perceptive person. "They should know soon."
Jiang Zao smiled at her, said thank you, and left the obstetrics and gynecology ward.
Just ten minutes after she left, Xia Yunqian, who had come to see Lan Yi, stormed out of the hospital and sped away for the first time in her life, running two red lights on her way back to the Xia family home.
Upon seeing Xia Chuwei, he slapped her across the face without saying a word.
Xia Chuwei was completely stunned.
She tilted her head, carefully feeling the burning pain on her face, unable to believe what she was seeing.
Turning her head, Xia Chu looked at Xia Yunqian with teary eyes, "Dad, you hit me?"
From childhood to adulthood, she had been pampered by Xia Yunqian like a precious jewel, and this was the first time she had ever been hit by Xia Yunqian.
Xia Yunqian didn't regret it at all, and even slapped him again.
Snap!
This time it was even heavier and louder than the last one.
“I could forgive you for whatever mistakes you made before, because you are my daughter. But you pushed your mother and ignored her bleeding. If the deliveryman hadn’t come by and the door hadn’t been closed properly, there would have been two deaths!”
Xia Chuwei was stunned.
Two lives lost, one unborn?
Yes, Lan Yi was indeed pregnant at this time in her previous life.
The woman kept it a secret, and it wasn't until her belly started showing that she found out. So she was already pregnant at that time?
So what if we have it?
In her previous life, she could make that bastard die in the womb, and in this life, he can forget about coming into this world alive!
Xia Chuwei feigned ignorance and asked, "Mom is pregnant? How is the baby now?"
It would be best if he died now!
This also saves her the trouble of doing it herself.
Xia Yunqian's tone was still filled with anger: "Fortunately, your ancestors had good fortune, and your mother and brother were saved. Otherwise, you would be a sinner of the Xia family, do you know that?"
Xia Yunqian had always wanted a son.
But after all these years, I still haven't been able to achieve my wish.
Before Lan Yi, Xia Yunqian had kept several women outside the marriage, and all of them had successfully conceived. However, for some reason, none of them were able to give birth safely.
That's why Xia Yunqian was so worried when Lan Yi fell during her pregnancy.
Thankfully, thanks to the ancestors, the child survived.
He had also secretly asked around and found out that the baby was a son.
Xia Yunqian is finally going to have a son!
Xia Chuwei noticed the smugness in Xia Yunqian's eyes, and her jealousy quickly escalated.
The Xia family can only belong to her!
No one can take her away from her.
That slut's bastard child is even worse!
Composing herself, Xia Chuwei put on a guilty expression, and even shed two lines of self-reproachful tears.
"Dad, I really didn't know Mom was pregnant, and I didn't push her on purpose. If I had known Mom was pregnant, I would have been overjoyed. How could I have argued with her? Even if I don't like her, she's carrying my brother. I understand the principle that blood is thicker than water."
Xia Yunqian had vented most of his anger with those two slaps, and now, hearing Xia Chuwei's words, although he was still suspicious, he chose to believe her.
“Your mother is still in the hospital trying to save her pregnancy. You’ll come with me in a bit and apologize to her properly. The company is quite busy lately, so you can stay at the hospital and take care of your mother.”
"Okay, Dad."
Xia Chuwei verbally agreed, but her heart was filled with hatred.
On what grounds?
Jiang Zao, that burden, needs her to serve him.
Even that slut Lan Yi needs to be served by her.
Those two bastards who should have died long ago have been eating and drinking for free for the Xia family for so many years. Do they think they can turn things around now by relying on the bastard child in their bellies?
"Dad, I'm going to wash up first, then let's go. Mom can't be alone in the hospital."
Seeing how sensible her daughter was, Xia Yunqian's anger subsided.
"Your father is hitting you for your own good. Your mother is carrying the future heir of our Xia family, and we can't afford any mishaps."
The more Xia Yunqian said this, the more Xia Chuwei hated him.
That bastard is the heir, so what is she?
Has Dad forgotten that he promised to give her everything?
“Yes, I understand, Dad,” Xia Chu said with a smile.
As she turned to walk towards the bathroom, a burning hatred blazed in her eyes, and she quickly racked her brains for a solution.
The methods from the previous life are definitely not going to work again. Jiang Zao, that burden, is also reborn and will definitely help her mother guard against it. It seems we need to think of another way.
After seeing Xia Yunqian leave the hospital, Jiang returned to the obstetrics and gynecology ward and came to Lan Yi.
Lan Yi looked very weak and her face was very pale.
But the happiness and joy in their eyes could not be concealed.
Her hand remained on her lower abdomen, as if lovingly caressing the child that was still just an embryo.
In her memory, before arriving at the Xia family, Lan Yi had also touched her like this.
"mom."
Lan Yi seemed completely oblivious to the fact that Jiang Zao was also wearing a hospital gown, preoccupied with sharing her good news with her.
"Jiang Zao, Mom is pregnant! Mom is finally carrying a child from the Xia family! Your Uncle Xia asked around and found out it's a boy! You have a little brother now, are you happy?"
Jiang Zao had mixed feelings about this child.
I don't like it, but I can't just stand by and watch someone die.
Perhaps letting her mother give birth safely and adding to Xia Chuwei's troubles is a good idea?
"Mom, now that you know this baby is a boy, you understand whose path this child is blocking. Be careful with everything from now on, whether you're at home or outside. It's best to avoid Xia Chuwei when you see her. Of course, this is just my advice, and you can choose not to listen."
After saying that, Jiang Zao turned and left.
She no longer felt any motherly affection for Lan Yi.
Back in her ward, Jiang Zao quickly put the matter out of her mind and picked up her computer to continue searching for clues about Eric.
It's impossible for someone who should have been sentenced to death ten years ago to still be alive now without the US police acting as an inside agent.
